Abstract
There is disclosed a method and system for use in authenticating an entity. An authentication request is received from the entity. An input signal is received from a communications device associated with the entity. The input signal comprises the current location of the communications device. The current location of the communications device is derived from the input signal. Based on the current location of the communications device, an event is detected at substantially the same location as the current location of the communications device. An analysis is performed between the current location of the communications device and the event. An authentication result is generated based on the analysis between the current location of the communications device and the event. The authentication result can be used for authenticating the entity.
